I am trying to align a series of pictures made up of letters, using TikZ. Having tried almost all combinations of the baseline key it is obvious I am missing something. Here is a MWE
(currently adjusting with an approximate manual baseline=-4pt). It is obvious from the
image that the adjustment only applies to the first letter. How can I fix this?

@YiannisLazarides I added the output from \listfiles for reference

A better way to do this (in my opinion) is to add anchor=base to the nodes you want to align, and baseline to the tikzpicture. That saves you the trouble of having to name the nodes just to align them.
